Reawakening » Stiles Stilinski [book 4]

20. Demons

"It's been three days; where the hell is she?" Stiles cursed, tossing the few things on the table to the floor in frustration. After finding out the truth, both Malia and Savannah had taken off. The only difference was that they knew where Malia was, she just wouldn't talk to them.. Savannah on the other hand, no one has seen or heard from her. And why would they? They lied to her, broke her heart and trust.. 

But it had been three days; three days, sixteen hours, forty-five minutes and twelve seconds and counting since Stiles last saw Savannah.. not that he was keeping count or anything. He knew she would be hurt, he understands too but he thought for sure they would have found her by now.. or at least heard something. But they've come up blank. 

it was like she just vanished. 

"She won't be found unless she wants to be found." Derek pointed out, drinking from his glass while both Stiles and Scott looked at him confused. 

"And what the hell does that mean?" Stiles snapped at the shell of the former werewolf. 

Derek crossed his arms in front of his chest, glaring at Stiles. "It means that she needs time and space. You wanted to keep the truth from her even though I warned you..-begged you that she needed to know...You made this choice now you have to deal with the consequences." 

"Don't you think I know that? I did this, this is my fault! Okay? I'll have to live with this for the rest of my life but she should have come back by now..we should have heard something..." Stiles said, feeling more and more hopeless with each passing second. 

Derek shook his head. "You see, I don't think you do know...This is not like last time or any time. She doesn't remember who she is, she doesn't have any memories to keep her from hating everyone and destroying herself in the process. Last time she couldn't bring herself to hate you or turn completely out of her mind because of her love for you but she doesn't have that this time...So, no..I dont think you know the consequences." 

Stiles sighed, letting his head fall. He knew Derek was right.. 

but he still couldn't help wonder where the hell Savannah was.

Derek finally sighed after some time, looking towards Stiles. "There's something you need to know..."

Three days; 

three days, sixteen hours, forty-five minutes and twelve seconds and counting have passed since the moment Savannah's entire world came crashing down in one fell swoop. She didn't know what to do or say; it felt like her entire world stopped spinning and time stopped. It might have been three days but time sure as hell hadn't passed for her. It was like as soon as it sunk in what Malia blurted out, the secret that came to the surface, everything was moving so fast and she was the only one standing still.
